It is all a cunning ploy by Redhat, they always sneak things up on us.
Given that this is a security update I suspect there will be an update
to 7.2 when it comes out - but to what I don't know.

If you are worried about security then you could download a later patch
from our ftp site and build your own kernel until we have something in
a more packaged form - 2.4.10 should do it.
